A pulled muscle is a painful injury that is caused when muscle fibers become torn. These injuries are usually caused by engaging in physical activity without properly warming up first. They can also occur when a person who is not in shape does something that is strenuous to the muscles.
Stomach Muscle (Abdominal) Strain. Pulled stomach muscle is also called as abdominal muscle strain. This occurs when there is overstretching in one of the abdominal muscles such as the rectus abdominis, internal and external oblique. Most abdominal strains affect the rectus abdominis muscle; the muscle that runs down from the ribs to the pelvis in the middle of the abdomen. Abdominal strain can immediately cause pain to the area of the injured muscle.
